Can the Avband be used as a standalone product?

Yes, our Avband can facilitate three-way communication between you, your SP (standardized patient), and their support person. The LED light and vibrations can signal specific actions or conditions. For instance, the LED light on the Avband might prompt the SP to simulate a sudden deterioration in health. Additionally, the vibrations can be used to alert the SP if they need to communicate discomfort or request a break from their role.

During mental health assessments, the Avband can be particularly useful. The LED and vibration features can help signal changes in the SP’s emotional or psychological state, allowing for real-time adjustments and responses. For example, the LED light could indicate signs of distress or a need for support, while vibrations might be used to discreetly alert the support person or instructor to intervene if necessary.
